I'd expect different platforms may eventually settle on different defaults (e.g., platforms w/o support should set it to 0 right away) and, also, it would be better to print warnings when users try to explicitly   set the flag to non-zero value when proper support is missing.

All right, diagnostic platform-dependent it is.
